ronald reagan won at 7.2%. george bush won at 5.4%. maybe that 7.2% is the most interesting one because it is most proximate to this election. is every decade, every era different or no? it is the number, it is the economy, stupid. >> it is more of the right track, wrong track. do people feel that the country is moving in the right direction or the wrong direction? do they see light at the end of the tunnel or do they just see darkness and darkness. i think that is so much more important, especially as we get closer to the election. there is one more jobs report out for the current month of october, on th friday before november 6th. there will be one more jobs number that people will be able to digest. having said that, with so many states now allowing early voting and a big chunk of the country voting now, by then so many people will have already voted, so we'll see if that is going to have much of an impact. it is a new phenomenon that we're seeing this early voting by mail or whatever and so it is a significant development. and we'r

ronald reagan's perspective has dominated republicans' thoughts on this matter for years. >> we have a different approach, the president and i, between a government-dominated society and a society driven by free people pursuing their dreams. >> reporter: romney insists the federal government should be smaller and less intrusive in terms of regulations and taxes and largely it should keep out of the free market. >> i line up with a smaller government, a less intrusive government, regulations being pared back. >> such views on both sides of course can make a difference. but here is the catch. for the past century, with a few exceptions, the government has been expanding no matter which party has held the white house. more cabinet positions, more agencies, more spending per citizen and much of that is driven by things like we menged at the start. population growth, economic trends and entitlements, meaning the question is probably not whether the government will keep growing under mr. obama or mr. romney, but rather how fast. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >>> child sex trafficking, thos

so, in 1984 i was part of the process under ronald reagan. i voted for some things if you are old enough to remember called gas-ahol, ronald reagan passed it. in 1998 big oil tried to kill it and senator chuck grassley said that i was the one person who saved it -- saved ethanol from big oil, and i did it for a very practical reason. this is not complicated. if i had to choose where a billion dollar goes and my choice is saudi arabia or south dakota, i pick south dakota. if my choice is iran or iowa, i pick iowa. i want us to become so energy independent that no american president ever again bows to a saudi king. now, you and i know that biofuels aren't the total answer, but they're a piece of it, soy, diesel, ethanol, cellulosic, good steps. in addition, i'm for american oil and gas. i'm for american coal. i'm for american nuclear and american wind and solar. it's a big deal that iowa is the second producer of wind in the world. only denmark produces more. but look at obama. obama is against american oil and gas. goes to brazil, congratulate
